Extra bones for a rigged character

fengshui0011

Hello from Singapore!

I am a newbies in 3D character creations and animation.

I am interested to create a very fat character with a big belly but could not find a rigged bones model that has a bone on the belly for me to work on the spring action when he is running and dancing... anyone can help?

In my opinion, I complet fully rigged character is with all the usual bones plus two bones on the breast, one on the belly, two on the butt, and one on the penis. That way, we have no limitation while doing animation when come across action that need these parts to apply spring action.

regards

Hi welcome

Daz studio has very intuitive skinning tools. You can easily add your own bones to existing rig wherever you want!

Can you teach me briefly how to do it? 

Really appreciate it if you can help. Thanks!

I'm quite new to the process myself so not so fit to teach this particular department yet. But here's
